Hey,
Thanks for all of you comments, this is very helpful. I probably should have mentioned that I don't use sewing machines, I have always done everything by hand, even hems. Its slower, but I like it. Maybe someday I'll try using sewing machines.
The built in belt would be a good idea, I do have a Sugar Petals belt form, but the performance I need it for is Saturday night so this time I'll just make a simple skirt and maybe take it apart after the show and do that. Luckily the embellishments are very simple. I like the idea of the interfacing only in patches behind embellishments, I think I will take out the interfacing I put in last night and try it this way.
As for lining it I was going to use satin because I figured it would be light enough to not impact the skirt movement, but is felt better? Or may felt for the top so it doesn't slide on my hips?
Thanks! I'll let you all know how it goes and I will be sure to post pics by the weekend!
